El 2023 d'Arnold Layne

UN GRAPAT DE TRESORS QUE M’HAN ALEGRAT EL 2023:

[Instruccions d’ús: 1) Es tracta de llistes totalment subjectives, ordenades de més a menys segons el nivell d’impacte que m’ha provocat cada referència.

2) Desglosso els discos del 2023 en elapés, cançons i versions per mirar de fer llistes menys llargues, però òbviament els discos de la segona i tercera llista (especialment els dels primers llocs) podrien estar a la primera i viceversa. Ídem amb la llista de concerts.

3) He indicat amb el símbol “(B)” els títols que podeu trobar a la xarxa de biblioteques.

4) De la majoria dels discos d’aquestes llistes podeu escoltar una cançó seleccionada als meus playlists al compte de Spotify “Badlandsbarna”.

5) Espero que gaudiu descobrint o retrobant un bon grapat de joies.]
